Suzy Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Hi, Cassel, i fixed this problem for Windows 10 years ago, but it’s not working for Windows 11. Any advice? It’s becoming a big problem to not see the thumbnails in Windows Explorer! 1
Cassel Posted May 24 Posted May 24 I don't have Windows 11 so I cannot check, but there was a discussion in the user-to-user forum here: https://psp-vs-forums.freeforums.net/thread/321/program-show-psp-images 1
Corrie Kinkel Posted May 24 Posted May 24 I use Thumbnail Handler as well and can see most of the them. I had the same problem years ago and when I updated to Windows 11 the thumbnail handler still worked. 2
Suzy Posted May 25 Author Posted May 25 Ok, I had it all fixed in Windows 10 with Sage something, but it doesn’t work with Windows 11, but guess what?? Now my Photoshop thumbnails show up! Honestly Windows 10 is so superior to Windows 11, I can hardly believe it’s an upgrade and not a punishment! Thanks,, everybody! 2 1

PSD files don't show up for me in Win11 but pspimage files do without any extra app. I don't worry about the PSD files because I use Picasa to look at my graphics files and PSD files show up in it. All the PSD files are templates and I choose them from Picasa when I'm scrapping. Pspimage files don't show up in Picasa but since those are my layout files, it isn't a big deal (and will never show up in Picasa since Picasa is no longer available). I really haven't noticed any differences between Win 10 and Win 11. The stuff I read about that I thought would bother me hasn't seemed any different. 2

For me PSD files don't show up too, but most of the time they have a small jpg example that at least shows how they look. That allows me to find them quickly. 2

That allows me to find them quickly. True, but I do have some really old psd files that the designer did not include a jpg preview. But I don't use Win Explorer to look at items when I'm scrapping, I use Picasa. I pull everything from it and just drag and drop to the layers palette which preserves the file name in PSP. 3

Suzy Posted May 30 Author Posted May 30 Holy Cow, It's been a really long journey on this, but finally I got PSP Thumbnail Handler to work. Thank you for the suggestions! I am pretty sure I got the entirely wrong program when I tried this before, but baby I'm back now! Yay! 2 2
Karen Borgmann Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Hi Suzy. I saw your post and I am also not seeing PSP thumbnails. I have Windows 11 and from I’ve seen in this thread I’m not the only one having issues. I hate that I can’t see them! Ugh! I see you got PSP Thumbnail Handler to work. I’ve never heard of this…..app? Could you give me more info please? I’ll give you my email addy because I’m not that confident I’ll find you again🤭 Thanks for any help, CorvetteKaren storieanne@aol.com 1

I know the time is approaching to update to Win 11, but I'm still dragging my feet. There are issues with Win 10 (as mentioned here) but I'm so used to it. I've used Win 11 on other devices and have not warmed to it yet. 1

I'm hoping this is not going to be the issue with Win 11. 2

Julie, as Rene mentioned, 600px JPEGs are usually included. 1
Karen Borgmann Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I still couldn’t fix the thumbnail issue. I tried the Thumbnail Handler App but that hasn’t worked for me so far. I do not get an image in my thumbnail, I get the PSP logo (the big ‘P’) on top of the thumbnail. This occurs on thumbnails that are saved as a pspimage. JPEGs show up with an image with no issue. I contacted Corel Support and though we went back and forth trying different things, they did not have a solution. Ugh! Wish I could go back to Windows 10! 2
Jannette Nieuwboer Posted June 19 Posted June 19 (edited) Ik heb ook zo'n vreemd probleem. Ik heb nog windows 10 en psp 2020 en psp 2023. Mijn png plaatjes worden wel geopend als png in de psp 2020 maar niet in de psp 2023, daarin komen ze met een meestal zichtbare achtergrond die ik dan verwijderen moet, naar mijn mening moet dat aan de instellingen liggen van de 2023. Ik weet alleen niet hoe ik het op moet oplossen. Ik denk dat het bij jou ook aan de instellingen ligt van je psp. 🤪 Edited June 19 by Jannette Nieuwboer 1

Het was alleen zoeken welke en waar. Maar alles is weer terug png.😀 3
Robert Garrett Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I am also running Windows 11. I found an app in the Microsoft Store called File Viewer Plus. I downloaded and installed it and it does display the thumbnails for .psd files. Hopes this helps. 2 2
Karen Borgmann Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Oh Thank you for your input. I will pass this info on to my techie guy ( my husband ) and cross my fingers! I also have PSP 23 Ultimate---wish me luck🤞🏼 2
